Political Compass

I'm somewhat surprised by my social result since I went out of my way to concede grains of salt to various putatively reactionary views, e.g., I agreed (though not strongly) with 'Eye for an eye', with 'Sometimes death penalty is OK', and with 'Military action unauthorized by international law may sometimes nonetheless be OK':This definitely makes me wonder what sort of lunatic you have to be for the test to count you as an authoritarian.

My 'center left' econ score seems OK (it's an American test - and I always count as center left (= Hillary Clinton) there whereas that computes to center right in NZ. Take the test yourself here.
